He who believes in Me has everlasting life
But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be the Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from old, from everlasting.
Micah 5:2
In our passage written by the prophet Micah, we read that Jesus would be born in Bethlehem. Micah's prophesy gave the people of God hope of a promised Messiah who would rule forever. Now we wouldn't think that a great and powerful king would be born in a small town or village.
In fact, Micah says that this town was "little" compared to Judah, where thousands lived. It's interesting that the word Bethlehem means, "house of bread." It was out of this house of bread that the Messiah would come. Look at what Jesus says about Himself in the book of John:
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world" (John 6:47-51).
So, this little town, this house of bread, was the birthplace of the King of kings and Lord of lords. Though His upbringing was lowly and poor, and though He was born in a feed trough with penniless parents,Jesus Christ came from this house of bread to become the Bread of Life, the Living Bread.
Now is the time, this Christmas, to give Jesus His proper place in your life. Let Him be the Bread of Life in you, in your marriage, in your relationships, and in your business. Let Him be the One to satisfy that spiritual hunger. Give Him your life today; that's why He came to earth!
"For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world" (John 6:33).
